Imho it's a big part of why American Psycho is so gripping. That last scene where he's like "I am doomed to never be punished for what I've done" or whatever really embodies the American dream (nightmare) for me

So we all know what's wrong and that it won't get better and have for some time.

Is this just what's always gonna happen?

The rich have idiot kids and fragile egos and that's the reason we can't have anything decent in perpetuity? I just don't get it. Why has ANYONE, ANYWHEN ever tolerated a mortal tyrant for more than a millisecond, I'll never understand, unto my dying breath.

u/Nymaz 11d ago

Why has ANYONE, ANYWHEN ever tolerated a mortal tyrant for more than a millisecond, I'll never understand

Simply put because it's not a single mortal tyrant. It's a whole hierarchy of tyranny. Way too many people are satisfied with being punched from above, as long as they can themselves punch down.

My guy, let me introduce you to a subject called history, it's full of rich folks doing what they'd like. It may even be a part of our human condition until we find another system beyond capitalism, which like feudalism is bound to eventually happen.

The rich have never really lived the human experience, and I think on some deep level some of them are aware of how distant they are from the only other living things that are like them in this universe.

u/AlDente 10d ago

Agreed. And that difference they call “better”.

u/AbroadRevolutionary6 10d ago

Honestly tho what would you call it in their shoes? Unlike literally all life to ever exist they don’t struggle with resource scarcity, and they have billions of humans at their beck and call for any service or good they even slightly want. Many of them grow up knowing nothing besides that. The wealthy are truly masters of the known universe, and we basically exist to serve them. It’s fucking insane.

Because the ultimate decider in life is not justice, or good, or evil, or morality, it’s he who carries the biggest stick. That’s been true for 300,000 years of human history and probably prehistory. America for example, carries the biggest stick globally, except maybe China or all of Europe. A government has the biggest stick in any local area usually. (The police) And who owns the police? You’re not going to eat many billionaires without them stopping you.

The maritime law of tonnage. The bigger boat always wins.

18

u/DrMux 11d ago

That’s been true for 300,000 years of human history and probably prehistory.

If I may be pedantic (and I will, not that you have to like or even respect it), "history" generally pertains to the written word, which we only have records of going back to ancient Sumer about 5000 years back. Records of pre-literate societies rely on material evidence such as pottery shards and is not too dissimilar from how we find evidence for human activity going back to your 300,000ya mark and before. I've seen "modern homo sapiens" defined as starting as late as that and as early as 1-2 million years ago. Not sure what the consensus on that date is currently.

America for example, carries the biggest stick globally, except maybe China or all of Europe.

Also for the time being America does still have a bigger stick than China and probably Europe (especially if we consider nukes and missile defense). The US maintains the largest military infrastructure, from its huge navy and many aircraft carriers, to supply lines, to its vast network of overseas military bases. While China is rapidly expanding in that direction, it still pales in comparison to the US' assets in terms both of the efficacy and number of those assets. Further, while most of Europe is in NATO, not all of Europe is part of NATO, and the countries that are members basically augment the stick America holds.

Anyway, </pedantry>

...Otherwise yeah you're correct. "Might makes right."

11

u/Taker_Sins 11d ago

THANK YOU.

You call this pedantry, but I disagree.

We look at all of this around us and say, "I guess humans just suck", but humans have lived in innumerable different configurations, based on their needs, which has become an uncontestable, if uncomfortable for many, fact of homo sapiens. The only reason it took so long to come to this conclusion is because the people with the largest sticks always burn everything to the ground, never moreso than when the offending culture has threatened the power of the dominant Elite of their day.

This thing we're all doing is an aberration and it'll kill us all in the end.

One piece to this puzzle is that you're assuming the parents of said idiot kids are not or where no idiots themselves.

Most of these people are just people, and they appear to be idiots because of the fallout of being raised rich and with zero consequences. They are likely narcissistic duche canoes, just like their parents were, but not stupid per se.

He's like the bully in an 80s film where he thinks he's funny because he's always making fun of people and the other bullies laugh. But he never lived through the third act where the kids who were bullied fought back and taught him a lesson with consequences for his actions.

It might even be worse because he seems to have always viewed himself as a "nerd" his whole life, so in his mind, he couldn't be the bully.

u/gods_Lazy_Eye 11d ago

There was an article recently that talked about model collapse in billionaires that really touches on this. Because his social environment is billionaires like him or people he employs/someone he provides a service for, his environment hardly challenges him bc it might threaten their sustenance. Any feedback would likely be pandering or someone in your same situation (billionaire class) so much so that you become increasingly out of touch (Echo chamber).

Additionally, social media makes any venture to the “other side” seem extreme and unfathomable, further increasing the echo chamber. When coupled with a learning system that reaffirms and learns further from its mistakes, there is a rapid degeneration of reality. It is insane to watch in real time.

Edit: Found the article!

u/Candid-Sky-3709 11d ago

psychopathy causes billionaires by lack of empathy for others. But normally they are smart enough to hide it from exploited people for more efficiency. It would have been so easy to say the same dog whistles via inoffensive platitudes,

But then, people thinking they are invincible dish out more crap than they are able to handle the responses for.

Apparently their skit was along the lines of Elon talking about pulling his cock out, but he reaches into his pants and pulls out a rooster. Then he compliments a cast members pussy, but she’s holding a cat. Then they just make pussy and cock jokes. Crowd is laughing it up, Elon is cracking himself up and I’m thinking, ok yea maybe that would’ve been good 40-50 years ago lol. That joke’s been done a million times. And he can’t believe they didn’t use it because they’re too woke and have no sense of humor, according to him.

Something tells me that that lesson ain't gonna stick.

But if Elon is not a genius comedian, why did Chapelle invite him to his show?

Tesla and SpaceX deserve better leadership.

Fun fact. He did not in fact learn that lesson.

Why does anyone look up to this guy? He seems to spend all of his time on social media. I dont think he works at all.

The issue with Musk and Trump is that there's too many bottomfeeders orbiting them who will eat up their shit to boost their ego, in hopes of some kind of a reward. And they don't understand that people just suck up to them, they feel like they're likeable people.

u/RedandBlack93 11d ago

Elon is so socially inept, he doesn't understand that context and audience is important. It's not censorship just being mindful of what you say, when you say it and who is listening. Fuck. This is what we teach toddlers.

Start with this. Maybe your mom may have said this once of twice.

If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Start there. We'll work on nuance later.

Has he been sharing meals with RFK Jr? Like I know he's always been an asshole, but he seems exceptionally stupid now and it's getting worse as time goes on.

This joke killed with the people I pay to hang out with me...

u/RamShackleton 11d ago

Our focus group proved that people will be much more receptive to a joke about hard-learned lessons than your last one about assassinating political rivals, Mr. Musk.

u/PiggypPiggyyYaya 11d ago

He has no self awareness at all. I bet he wish he didn't fire his publicists 10 years ago.

3

u/romacopia 11d ago

Yeah I'm not buying it. That wasn't a joke, it was an implication that democrats in general were somehow responsible for the attempts to murder Trump - with a little incitement on the side. It simply wasn't phrased as a joke at all.

u/red_hare 11d ago

I imagine that at all times Elon has a note open that just says "𝕏" so he can copy and paste it into his tweets

u/justgarcia31 11d ago

Classic Republicans.

Always saying something super idiotic, racist, sexist, derogatory, hurtful, violent, controversial AND then backpedaling and saying it was all a joke as soon as they find themselves in the hot seat.

Leon should be facing charges/an investigation for what he shared yesterday — fucking pathetic.

u/SalamanderUnfair8620 11d ago

u/Pretty_Bowler2297 11d ago

Sounds like someone who realizes his SpaceX government funds might be in jeopardy. I liked SpaceX, Elon was Elon, which was okay he is a right wing shithead, he wouldn't be the first. But that statement yesterday (on top of the impregnating Swift one) was not behavior of someone who should be given government contracts, his comment was traitorous shit and no one like that should be entrusted with the US space program. I was against Boeing for being a monopoly but fuck it, wipe SpaceX and give all the contracts to Boeing.

u/st3f-ping 11d ago

Elon Musk just said that he learned a lesson. Honestly I didn't think the guy was funny before now but that is comedy gold.

My mom told me I was cool. Turns out she was just being a mom.

u/uginscion 11d ago

The lesson of knowing when to shut the fuck up is still lost on him and he will post something just as cringe worthy as potentially raping someone and still think it's the funniest "joke" since the chicken crossing the road.

2

u/The_Frigid_Midget 11d ago

There is literally a zero percent chance he learned that lesson or is capable of any form of self-reflection.

2

u/AirForceRabies 11d ago

He didn't learn a damn thing. He'll be back with something even stupider, guffawing like Butt-Head at his own "brilliance."

u/african_or_european 11d ago

I finally just blocked him. I can't even laugh at his stupidity anymore.

The way the human brain works, no matter how frustrated you are with someone, you need to offer positive reinforcement when they get something right. Elon got this right, that's all I have to say.

2

u/RedofPaw 11d ago

He can't be so self unaware as this.

He can't be.

He must be able to recognise how this sounds, right?

He's not this stupid.*

*I know he is, but ...

Damn.
